Breaking Bad for Real? A Dude Named Walter White is Wanted on Meth Charges

Okay, get this. A man accused of violating his probation is now wanted on methamphetamine manufacturing charges in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. His name? Walter White.

AL.com reported the news story surrounding the 55-year old, who happens to share the name of one fictional Walter White, the infamous meth manufacturer played by Bryan Cranston on AMC's Breaking Bad.

The real-life criminal was on probation beginning in 2010 following his arrest in 2008 -- the year Breaking Bad began airing -- on charges of trafficking methamphetamine, unlawful manufacturing of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and possession of precursor materials. He then violated his probation back in January on those same charges. Subsequently, the county circuit judge ordered a writ to be issued in the case a few days ago after White missed his court date. The man is now being pursued by local authorities.

There is like no meth in Southeastern Wisconsin. There is a huge heroin problem though and an average amount of crackheads. Sort of an anomaly considering how abundant it is in Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota
